  1. Re:ahhh crap...... on Microsoft Files 15 Lawsuits Against Spammers · · Score: 1

    Even though I really hate to say this, and am kicking my self in the ass as I write this.. I see it going like this. We hate Spam We hate Spammers We hate Microsoft We hate Spam and Spammers less than We hate Microsoft We like Microsoft for sueing Spammers The Hill takes note Sueing Spammers is Unnecessary because They are Hunted like Animals by the Law Microsoft did something good, after all *Sighs* I Hate to say it, but this could be good.

    I actually read this twice expecting some sort of secret hidden message, what with the capricious usage of your shift-key.

  3. Other ASCII Art links... on Star Wars Asciimation Revisited · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here are some additional ASCII art sites worth visiting, some of which host artwork dating back to the early 1970's...

    The Textfiles.com Computer Art Collection
    Features a wide range of computer-oriented text-based artwork beginning with teletype (RTTY) art which predates ASCII. An archive of archives.

  4. Re:Lindows on Talk With Michael Robertson · · Score: 1
    how can an OS completely dedicated to emulating another OS would ever be popular? if copying Windows is your focus, isn't your OS already second-rate by design?
    If this were actually true, I don't see how this has to necessarily be a bad thing. Case in point: AMD -r
  5. Re:Remember Friction? on Energy From Vibrations · · Score: 1

    This is a good idea. It would be nice to see some handheld electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, or slim PDAs built with integrated battery chargers that harness kinetic energy.
    Granted not everyone is in "perpetual motion" but many professions require people to be constantly walking around from place to place with these sort of devices in hand or on a belt clip.

  7. Re:Student Numbers = SSN on UT Austin Hit By Massive Security Breach · · Score: 1

    Except the waitress at Hooters doesn't know what university you attended, your home or business telephone number, your postal address, etc. In some cases (not enough) restaurants are finally only printing the last 4 digits of the credit card number on carbon receipts to assist in the reduction of card fraud.

  9. Make your own coders cable!! on Serial Cables Illegal Due to DMCA? · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is complete and utter hogwash. You may not be able to walk in to BestBuy and "hoarde them all" but you can definitely make your own. Marcus Comstedt has a very resourceful Dreamcast Programming site, which also documents how to build the DC to PC serial adapter ("DC coders cable") at: http://mc.pp.se/dc/serifc.html As the victim of this so-called upholding of the DMCA has acknowledged on his own site, the DC broadband adapter would be the way to go, but is a much more expensive route. Happy coding... -r
